ABSTRACT:
For use with a quartz angular rate sensor, a frequency and phase-locked synthesizer recovers a reference signal virtually free of phase noise, and generates a quadrature-phase reference signal for complex demodulation of the angular rate signal. The synthesizer also ensures a precisely adjusted phase shift of approximately zero across the drive tines of the sensor. Moreover, the digital synthesizer provides a precise numerical indication of the drive frequency, which can be used for compensation and automatic tuning of filters, such as a tracking filter, a filter in an automatic gain control, and notch filters in the phase and/or frequency detectors in the digital synthesizer. The tracking filter is used as a pre-filter for the synthesizer, and is responsive to a passband-width control signal generated from the magnitude of the frequency and phase error signal controlling the frequency generated by the synthesizer. Preferably the synthesizer has an oscillator controller for producing a pair of frequency control signals that are the sine and cosine of a frequency control parameter (.phi.), and one of these control signals is generated from the other by a polynomial approximation. To compensate for roundoff error, when one of the in-phase or quadrature-phase outputs has a magnitude less than a limit value, a compensated value for the other output is computed from an even polynomial of the magnitude.
